Retirement might seem a long way off. But with increasing life expectancies, you could easily be relying on your pension for 1/4 to 1/3 of your life (longer than you were at school!)

Which makes pensions important to understand…But where to start?

We had the privilege of interviewing Howard Brindle, the Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the UK’s largest private pension scheme, USS, to discuss what you need to know about pensions.

The interview covers a lot, including:

How the different types of pension work

How regulations and taxes influence outcomes for individuals and their future lifestyles

Why pension funds are becoming some of the most powerful investors in the world!
